Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if they are crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during the treatment period.
